Rachel had a doctor's appointment up in Houston this afternoon. We thought she had weathered our beach vacation without any problems, but it was nice hearing that the doctor thought so, too. It's funny that we slathered Rachel with sunscreen, and she wore a hat and a rash guard, but she is still our darkest child!

Dr. R wants to draw blood in about six weeks to make sure she's still doing well off the methotrexate. And we'll see her again in six months when we'll hopefully discontinue the Plaquenil. I think the plan then is to see Dr. R again in six months or a year and then stop.

Stop? Yes, stop! With Rachel doing so well, it looks like our visits to the pediatric rheumatologist are coming to an end! Hooray! Praise the Lord!!
